My 45 year old son, yesterday, asked me what I wanted for Xmas this year---and I honestly couldn't think of one thing to tell him so I told him--nothing. And that is completely true--I don't need a thing. But it made me stop an think----- In this day and age, when I want something--I get it. Already bought myself my to-me from-me xmas gift----what would you have said? I think the thing I appreciated was that he actually asked.
Is this the first year or time your son asked you what you wanted for a Christmas gift? That's kind of odd.
I've buy whatever I want all year long and don't hold out. But I've never bought a 'to-me-from-me* Christmas gift.
I guess that would be something I would ask for, if asked at Christmas (or Mother's day or my birthday.)
Do you ask him what he'd like? I ask my kids (adults, also) what they'd like, and also ask their husband and wives.
Not sure what you'd bought your husband over the years, if you ever asked him. My husband and I never exchange gifts, since we've been married. Both completely content with that, I'm sure.
You haven't minced words about your ex, it's out there how you feel about him, what he did all day long and who he *backed*. lol. I guess the both of you are glad it's over.
